Im sure I heard something about Sony secretly working to make a 'halo killa' or something along them lines quite a while ago, what came of it? ive not heard anything on this for a long long time, I guess this was just a rumour then that wasn't true or is something still yet to amaze us?

I have ts2 but I dont feel it beats in any way shape or form the gameplay of Halo. Granted I will be slaving away over it for decades with the extra games but thats logivity and it doesn't have much interaction due to the poxy story.

Tactics?

I just went through it shooting - like so many other FPS games! Even the fact of only being able to carry two weapons at a time didn't force me into using tactics!

Although I do once recall eating a box of tictacs while playing...

Although I really like Timesplitters 2, I wouldn't say its a Halo beater. It just doesn't have that punch to it that Halo has. It would have been nice if the story mode was a bit longer too.
Of course the other options make up for it, but still, I think Halo has more thought to it with different tactics being used. Timesplitters 2 is fun in the way that its a nutty blaster with some great multiplayer options, etc.

I`d go with Wookiee's version. Gameplay is very important, and its agreed that its the most important ingredient, but that doesn`t mean the rest doesn`t matter. If the plot and graphical touches of TimeSplitters 2 weren`t up to Halo standards, then it wouldn`t completely beat the game. As it is, TimeSplitters 2 seems to satisfy those conditions as well, so it does beat it (full stop).

Well if it beats it in gameplay it beats it full stop.

Apparently true, but still in development.

The question now is - will it be a Halo 2 killer?

A second question would be - do we care? TS2 (on any platform) is already a Halo killer in my opinion - at least in terms of gameplay.
